Origami Centerpieces from our Wedding

The wedding is finally over and done -- and what a wonderful day it was! We had a holiday themed wedding in December. Here are the centerpieces that I made for the reception dinner tables. My sister and two friends helped make the origami flowers. We also made boutonnieres and corsages for family members, and bouquets for my sister and myself. It was all very down to the wire -- my sister and I worked until 4am every morning in the days leading up to the wedding. We assembled the bouquets the morning of the wedding! Scary!

Anyway, here are the results...sometimes lopsided, but made with love. The flowers are made from gift wrap paper and scrapbooking paper. The leaves and "berry" picks are from a craft shop. The bowls are milkglass - found cheap at an antiques market. (Click the photos to see enlargements at Flickr.)
